To Dance or
Not to Dance
By Tom Krahe
On Wednesday, October 14th,
the recreational center at Erie
Hall received a new juke box. The
juke box is sponsored by the
S. G. A. It will be available for
use by students during all the
hours Erie Hall is open.
The S. G. A. has obtained a 60-
40 split with the company which
supplies the box. Naturally 60%
of the profits goes to the supply
ing company, but 40% is quite a
good profit since there is no in
vestment. This being the case,
patronage will not only be a
source of enjoyment for all of us,
but also a good money-making
promotion.
While intervieewing Toni Bun
dy, President of the S. G. A.,
about the arrival of the juke box,
I asked him what the possibilities
were of holding weekly or bi
weekly dances in Erie Hall. His
reply was "not a chance". Upon
questioning him further, I found
this had been attempted last year
and was, in so many words, a
FLOP! He said the attendance at
the majority of the dances was
about fifty. I argued that there
was a new crop of students here
this year and that we should be
given a chance to show that we
will support school activities.
SOOOO . . . I guess it's up to you,
new students, to let him know.
If there are enough students in
favor of holding these dances,
they will be held, but the only way
to let the S. G. A. know is to show
them you're interested.
So—get in touch with Tom
Bundy or any of the other mem
bers of the S. G. A.

Projector to
Aid Instruction
Our school has recently ordered
an overhead projector called The
Transpaque Tuto-Level. This new
visual aid should greatly improve
classroom instruction.
With this new machine, the
instructor will be able to sit in
the front of the room and project
an image on the wall behind him.
No longer will the teacher have
to remain in the rear of the class-
The Transpaque Auto-Level is
capable of magnifying an image
clearly without any glare. The in
structor may write under the
projector and have his writing
produced on the wall while he
writes.
This new visual aid cost our
school $455.00. It goes without
saying—"A picture is worth a
thousand words."

How many cannon balls are
there on the ship model "Niagara"
located in Erie Hall? Do you
know? If you're a freshman at
the Behrend Campus of the Penn
sylvania State 'University you
probably do. Or maybe you were
one of the more unfortunate
members of the class of "68" who
failed to pass the Sophomore In
telligence Test. In that case "fun
and games" did begin for you.
The first item. on the agenda was
a guided tour of the inside of the
swimming pool. Many of the
Behrend dorm girls did succumb
to a dip in the pool; Sheila Rein
hold, Jane Scrudders and Sue
Tomer to name just a few. "Don't
walk on the grass" and "don't go
out the front door of the Otto
Behrend Building" are warnings
Michele Bloxham and Pat Del-
Porto took to heart after their
experiences with hip wadders and
four feet long name cards. There's
nothing like a pair of size thirteen
track shoes to make a girl feel
more feminine, as Linda Hender
son will tell you.
Every freshman had a chance
to display his musical talents un
der the direction of Bill Frazier
when the Sophomore class re
quested a round of Penn State
songs. For Chuck McCoy's punish
ment, the Sophs required that he
carry two filled water glasses up-
\ : •Vie 's\
\, • 'll\.;
side down on a tray. But Chuck
got the last laugh by magically
producing a goldfish in each glass.
Carrying around a bowling ball
might not have improved Ron
Tomlin's average but it did help
him develop his biceps. Lynn
Brown's failure to appear at court
was appreciated by the class of
"67" to such a degree that she
was given the honor of wearing
full fishing gear to class. The Old
West just hasn't been the same
since Marty Jean Bush hung up
her guns and came east to school
with her cowboy boots, ten gallon
hat and skiffs? For good
ness sakes, Marty Jean, what did
you do?
Whatever we did to deserve our
"just punishment" there wasn't
a freshman on campus that didn't
breath a sigh of relief when he
learned customs were over. But
don't fret, frosh, next year, we'll
get our revenge!
